Create a resource guide that highlights how relationships are influenced by trauma and narrative tools for working with trauma.

Bridging with a Narrative Lens

You will create a resource guide that highlights how relationships are influenced by trauma and narrative tools for working with trauma. Please note that this assignment can be more of a listing rather than a formal paper. Think of this resource guide as something you would pass along to fellow MFTs that allows them to see how narrative and group processes can be applied to relationship therapy.

Part 1- Description
The first part of the resource guide is a description of experiences that can be part of relationships as a result of past trauma in one or both partners.

Part 2 – The Narrative Approach
The second part of the resource guide is specific to interventions that are part of the narrative model. The readings for this week build on the narrative model and describe populations that might be influenced by trauma and how this influences relationships. Narrative tools and techniques (and adapted narrative tools and techniques) are discussed throughout the readings and can be applied to this resource guide.
